Initial phone screen, then invited to the office for an in-person interview. When I arrived for the in person interview, it turned out to be a 2-on-1 interview, as the recruiter informed me that she was going to be sitting in on the interview so she could get a better idea of what the position entailed since it was a new one for her to be recruiting for. At the end of the interview, I was promised that I would hear some kind of an update before the weekend because as the recruiter said, she "didn't like people going into the weekend not knowing what was going on". Needless to say, I did not hear a peep from them, ever. They ignored all followup emails asking for a status of the position. I should have realized from the moment that I walked in, since the recruiter was sitting in to find out more about the job herself, that I was basically a beta test for the interview process, and likely not an actual candidate for the position.

I was referred by a friend. I got called by their recruiter, had a brief phone interview. A few days later I got Schedule for a face to face Interview. I was interviewed by a the hiring manager that made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. The interview went well and was called the following week with an offer.
